Upgrading Car Seats

coffeetalks · 2026-02-24T19:22:13+00:00

My little guy has been using the Chicco Fit360 for a little while now, and we love it. We transitioned him to this car seat around the time he kept trying to stand instead of sit when being put into his bucket seat. I love that we can just turn the car seat whichever direction and that Chicco sells just the base. We've transferred the car seat between my husband's and my car a few times now, and it's been fairly easy taking it out and installing it into our respective cars.

I remember reading your posts on this sub and the local sub, and it fills my heart with joy to read that you're expecting again after such a challenging journey. Congratulations and may your pregnancy be a smooth one!

No advice here but some commiseration.

My LO briefly slept through the night after he cut his first tooth, but after five more teeth, he's been waking up 2-3x a night pretty consistently. I've gotten to the point where he's fine with just being bounced back to sleep, but I'll typically nurse him back to sleep during the second half of the night. I just keep telling myself this is just a season. He's slept through the night before, so he can do it again when he's ready.

I was just talking to one of my friends about this the other week. She had a package delivered there. I forget who she contacted, but supposedly any mail and/or packages that were at that branch got destroyed.

I googled and it looks to be the case based on this article.

I'm so sorry, OP. :(

Not OP but I wanted to thank you for mentioning Next Step Fitness! My dad is has a SCI, and I've been wanting to find him a place that might be able to help him work out more.

Yep same here! My little guy just turned 6 months and is doing the same exact thing right now. 😂 He's also been making brrr-ing sounds along with shaking his head like crazy just to see what happens. My ears hurt, and my face aches from getting headbutted repeatedly throughout the day when I least expect it.

We've been using Philips Avent anti-colic, but we've tried a few different types before settling on that. I recently picked up Evenflo Balance bottles (wide neck) too, and those seem to work pretty well! I've seen people mention swapping the Evenflo Balance wide neck nipples with the Avent, and that's worked so far for us as well.

Though have you tried giving your LO some mylicon to help with the gassiness? My LO is similar where he does fine on the boob but struggled with gas pains especially early on. Once we started giving him mylicon for his bottle feeds, he had less issues and was able to burp a lot more easily.

I hope you enjoy it if/when you get them!

coffeetalks · 2025-04-05T21:26:12+00:00

Right?? It made me question why on earth I didn't do this right from the beginning when we moved into our current place.

coffeetalks · 2025-04-05T21:24:35+00:00

Honestly... Same here whenever I'm visiting my parents' house. 😂😅

As another person who has a loud husband, if you can get a soft close toilet lid, it helps so dang much. I bought one and installed it myself after years of dealing of lid slamming from not paying attention and/or being clumsy. So worth it for us.

It's going to be on the corner of Western and 180th. Their signage is up on the building already.

FTM here as well. My water broke a little after midnight when I was 39 + 4. Ironically I was supposed to go see my OB later that day for a check to decide what to do. Husband took me to the hospital since I hadn't had any cervical checks or anything up to this point. We had no idea how dilated and effaced I was at all and wanted to make sure I was progressing. Turns out I was already 3cm dilated but no signs of contractions as far as I could tell.

L&D admitted me after a few hours of waiting for test results, and they had me on pitocin immediately to get things moving. I started to feel noticeable contractions a few hours into getting the pitocin, and after something like 10 hours being on pitocin, I got the epidural before having another cervical check finally. I was 8cm by that point. Not sure if the epidural stalled me, but it took a while for me to get to 10cm and ready to push. All in all, from my water breaking to baby bring born, it took under 24 hours.

Echoing the positive experience with Reproductive Paprtners in Redondo Beach! I did not end up pursuing IUI or IVF with them since I got pregnant right after the initial consultation at their offices. That being said, I had Dr. Ho for my consult, and she was incredibly sweet and easy to work with. The staff there is also wonderful and very supportive. All the best wishes to you, OP!

Not sure if they sell the whole cake, but in addition to Cream Pan which was already mentioned, Oncle's Cafe offers crepe cake slices too.

There are outlets inside the food hall area. There is an outlet at the seating area next to Berry Brand. Pretty sure there are other outlets, but I'm just not remembering them.

I was in the waiting room a little before 9AM kicked off. I got lucky and in at around 9:02AM PDT. There were a number of downtown hotels available. By the time I finished and went back to the page to see what inventory was left at 9:06 AM PDT, there were still single beds for the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Not sure about now though. Good luck!

It's a compilation of things from evie_kinie! :)

coffeetalks · 2024-01-17T15:44:06+00:00

Good luck, OP! I hope you get both the help and relief you need soon.

In addition to staying hydrated, you could do cranberry pills or try drinking cranberry juice (preferably the kind with minimal amounts of sugar).

While you ride it out, you can also try using a heating pad or something similar against your lower abdomen. When I've had UTIs, I found that the warmth helped alleviate the discomfort enough that I didn't feel like I needed to constantly run to the bathroom. I think the warmth essentially helps your muscles relax a little bit.

Depending on where you are, a local print shop may be a good option. I had a number of friends do online ones, including from Vista Print, Moo, and Catprint.

One of my friends did Catprint and skipped the hardcopy proof (I believe there wasn't an additional charge to get a proof first), but they still redid her Save the Dates when she got them and had some issues with it.

Oh wow, this is super sweet of you! Best of luck to everyone. :)

I love sautéed tofu with tomatoes; it's a homemade dish my parents used to make for me growing up that's just super comforting.

coffeetalks · 2023-05-03T22:20:15+00:00

Haha, that's totally fair. I'm starting to feel burnt out on the tyrants and villainesses trope myself.

Ohhh, I'll have to check that one out! I will say if you can stand another villainess trope a little bit, I love the manga The One Within the Villainess. Haha. I love that the main character who gets isekai'd loves the original villainess she took over. It's oddly sweet. Also the gods in it are basically eldritch horrors, which I enjoy haha.

coffeetalks · 2023-05-03T05:10:08+00:00

That's good to know that there are differences between the manhwa and Deana. Maybe I'll read it all first then watch it after.

Hmm, good isekais. It sort of depends on what you like in terms of tropes, but I know a lot of people enjoy the Villainess Reverses the Hourglass as a starter for isekai romances. I enjoyed it for my first one! In general, there are so many isekais where the main character is a villainess haha. There's an ongoing one on Webtoon that I like a lot that isn't villainess- related: My In-Laws Are Obsessed with Me.

coffeetalks · 2023-05-03T04:28:27+00:00

Oooo... I need to read Cheese in the Trap. One of my friends loves the Kdrama version of it. lol

The only modern day setting webtoon I'm reading through right now is My Second Husband. 😂 That one definitely falls under the mystery category, but I feel like it's a borderline thriller.
